eVisa is single-entry only
The standard eVisa allows one entry. If you leave Uzbekistan (even for a day trip), you'll need a new visa to re-enter.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Uzbekistan, not from when you apply. Double-check before booking flights.
What happens at the border
